Abstract:The purpose of the current study was to investigate the relation between attentional bias and procrastination.In Experiment 1,we adopted emotional stroop paradigm,in which subjects were required to judge the color of words while ignoring its meaning.In Experiment 2,we used the modified dot probe task,took procrastination and neural words as cues,and asked subjects to judge the location of target.The results reveal that higher levels of self-reported procrastination displayed longer response times to procrastination words in emotional stroop task.In addition,when the SOA was shorter,participants took longer times for target on consistent context.However,when the SOA was longer,participants took shorter times to judge the location of target on consistent context.The results indicate that procrastinators have difficulty in inhibiting procrastination-related information,and express attentional bias for procrastination stimuli within limited time.
